[ALL] Modern Warfare 3

[Swarley]

I saw this posted from G4's Twitter. A little info on multiplayer...

The multiplayer in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will reduce the number of map "hotstops" in order to obtain a more action-packed feel, according to Robert Bowling, creative strategist at Modern Warfare development studio Infinity Ward, in an article from Kotaku.
Hotspots, for those who don't know, are places where an enemy can hide or shoot from, and Bowling says gamers won't have to worry about more than five hotspots at any one time.
"It simplifies it so that the less skilled player has less to think about," Bowling said. "There's fewer places to hide, which discourages the more camper mentality that seemed to emerge in the map design of Modern Warfare 2."

Bowling also mentioned that air support will be reduced. The main idea is that the designers want the game to focus on fast paced gun-on-gun gameplay rather than perks.
"Modern Warfare style is, for me, all about the high-speed, fast-paced—and I'm talking in terms of smooth controls and 60-frames-per-second framerate—infantry-focused combat," Bowling said. "And it's all focused on that gun-on-gun gameplay, especially in Modern Warfare 3. I feel like it's something we nailed with Call of Duty 4. We moved away from it a little bit with MW2, relying heavily on air support, killstreaks, perks and stuff like that. Modern Warfare 3, very much [is] building up from that Call of Duty 4 mentality of gun-on-gun, fast-paced infantry gameplay."

It sounds to me like Infinity Ward might be trying to cater MW3 to a more casual audience than its previous installments. I'm not sure if I like that idea. What do you think? You can check out Bowling's entire interview over at Kotaku.

I like the sound of relying less on perks. COD4 was a lot more fun imo than MW2. Hopefully they can get back to that.

Perks and all that other stuff was always retarded imo. I just didnt get it. If it was a slower paced game with some strategy maybe a f16 would make sense. But a run and gun game with nukes ?
Never became a fan.

ROFL @ the MW3 team moving backwards.....

What a certain game with no perks creepin up on you?

 

[BrntO4Life]

I laughed at promoting the idea of catering to shitty players.

"MW3: Lowering the Bar for EVERYONE!"

Like most ideas this could go very well or very badly. I like MW2 to an extend but after a while it became too much of ducking ou tof site of planes etc. I didn't mind some of the ground based perks like the turret guns, even calling in a predator missle, etc but it just got to be ridiculous at times. I hated the maps of Mw3 and the perks felt way overdone in that incarnation. The less camping spots is good..I guess but I hope it doesn't take snipers out of the equation...

They need to stop fucking up the weapons. Famas need to go back to 3 round burst and the Spas need to go back to pump action.

Just found a couple of new screenshots posted on Twitter...

Did you watch the video? I honestly eat up any type of endless waves game types.

 

[Chrispy]

Looks the same to me.

same to what?

 

[StealthShot]

Hmmm a juggernaut "point" streak at the end there.

So looks like if your team gets so many kills in a row there's team perks. Seems like you would definitely need a solid squad if it's this way.

Looks great.

So they finally added a horde mode? Yay. But what took them so fucking long? :edlover:

Yes, I did. Horde modes don't interest me (although BF:BC2's Onslaught Mode was a good time).

same to what?

Zombie Mode. Minus Zombies. Plus Dogs With Bombs.

Brnt, please don't start this with the CoD fanboys. You'll just end up with a headache.

The bottom line is that they are adding a feature that every other game on the market has had for several years and the fanboys think it's actually something new. Let them believe that and we can all live in a happier place.

 

[Chrispy]

I know its not something new, but its new in the game

 

[Buzzman]

LOl just because its not new doesn't mean it cant be fun. Im sure i'll be playing this more then the actual MP, as I now do with zombie mode.

We're excited because it looks like a good take on a Horde type mode.
